4 months agoI feel the existence of an “export” option in a piece of software is noble in this day and age, and I’m so appreciative of it.
It says “look, I don’t WANT you to go to my competitor, but I’m not gonna try to hold your data hostage to prevent it.”
It’s class, as the Scottish would say.
yogthos: I have problem y. How can I solve problem y?
StackOverflow: You don’t solve problem y. You solve problem x so that problem y never comes into being.
yogthos: Oh wow. Shit okay, well what if I’m already having problem y though? How can -
StackOverflow: bruh. Why are you even still thinking about problem y? Problem y isn’t real; it can’t hurt you. Problem y was just a mirage. Get it? It was a red herring. An epistemological myth you told yourself too many times and started believing. Problem y is just a sickness of the mind made manifest. Cleanse yourself of it.
lol I know you’re not saying that to be dismissive I just like dramatizing things
